Click bait title.
1000% when the real story is an increase of 3 euro?
Bs, the company decided they can't discount and as long as they give enough notice I don't see a problem.
> Now, Gandi will raise the prices of the Standard mailbox plan from €0.35/month to €3.99/month per mailbox, a 1040% increase. The Premium plan will go from €1.75/month to €5.99/month, a 242% increase.
- Chatting 3y agoI don't find the "it's only a couple of euros/dollars/pounds" argument terribly convincing. A 10x increase is a 10x increase. It adds up quickly. Should businesses, e.g. supermarkets, raise prices by 10x for items below a certain threshold? What should that threshold be? Or, what about AWS? They charge something like $0.10/GB for egress. Should they start charging $1/GB? I'm being frivolous of course, but I'm sure among Gandi's customers there's gotta be someone who uses a lot of mailboxes and is therefore going to be significantly impacted from this. > as long as they give enough notice I don't see a problem They gave a month's notice. Whether that's enough, I suppose that depends on how many "products" (domains, mailboxes, hosted sites, etc.) you'd have to migrate.
- cmcaleer 3y agoSay you’re providing standard email to a family of 6. Your yearly bills are €25.2. Now, your bills are €288 per year, for the same service, basically overnight, without even beginning to consider other price raises by Gandi and general inflation. If you don’t have a ton of disposable income that’s kinda brutal and you don’t have a lot of time to work this out.
